Announcements that are always up to date

Add your Google Calendar, pull live data from Google Sheets, RSS feeds or your website, and update every screen from any browser. A last-minute change only takes a quick edit. When it matters, the Emergency System switches every screen to an alert in seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our platform. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team.

How can a church use digital signage?

Churches use screens for announcements, event calendars, song lyrics, sermon slides, volunteer sign-ups and welcome messages in lobbies, halls and the sanctuary.

Can volunteers update the screens?

Yes. Invite as many users as you need at no extra cost and give each one a role, so volunteers can edit content without changing settings.

Can I show our calendar of events?

Yes. Add your Google Calendar to a playlist and new events show up on the screens automatically.

Is there a discount for churches?

Non-profit organizations with a government-issued non-profit certificate get 20% off every plan.

Can the screens show different content on Sundays than during the week?

Yes. Schedule playlists by time of day, day of the week or date range, so service content plays on Sundays and weekday announcements the rest of the week. See how scheduling works.
